User talk:Contemporaryphotography

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website - I have blocked this account. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a change of username of your current account here. The new username must represent only yourself as an individual and comply with Wikipedia's username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text   at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. So Why  09:22, 16 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Dear Lavalizard101,
 * I hope you and your family are in good health.
 * Thank you very much for taking the time to observe and comment on my account username.
 * My name is María Alejandra Mendez, I live in Miami, Florida, United States. I am Co-Founder of Voices of the River of Grass. I received a Bachelor's degree in Art History from the Universidad de Los Andes, Merida, Venezuela. I am currently Project Manager of international art projects. You can see my profile on my Instagram page @alejandramendezart
 * I am writing to let you know that before changing my account username, I would like to ask you to please consider keeping the current name. For what reason? Because the contributions that I hope to make to Wikipedia will be in the field of contemporary photography.
 * In this regard, before determining my current account username, consider using the name Photography and I couldn't choose it because that username is not available because it is in use.
 * Photography and contemporary photography are names of direct reference to the world of photography in the history of art. Therefore, I ask you, please, to evaluate the possibility of keeping my username because I do not represent any group, club, organization, company, or website.
 * In perspective, the Photography username and the Contemporary Photography username are not generic names. They are code names associated with recognized topics.
 * My inspiration to write about photographers, curators, and organizations related to photography comes from my relationship with the international photography community. I have participated in different projects where I have met photographers and curators that I consider should be listed on Wikipedia to document their life, processes and work.
 * I appreciate that when you have the time, please consider giving me feedback on my appeal to keep my Contemporary Photography username.
 * Kind regards,
 * Maria Alejandra Mendez
